I am interested in purchasing a bandsaw in the next six months or so and I have been doing some research. Being that I am only 25 I am intending to purchase the saw for many years of use so I don’t want to skimp on quality and features while not breaking the bank. I do know already that a 10-12 inch cutting height is a must as is at least a 1 if not a 1.5 horse power motor. I am a fan of the Grizzly tools since I own a few and love them. I am considering the G0513 or the G0513X. I would love to see these on sale but I really haven’t followed Grizzly’s website too much to know what times of the year that they have sales except for around Christmas. I would love to wait until they go on sale in an attempt to save 50 or 100 bucks. Does anyone know what times of years that they hold their sales?

I am open to considering other brands of saws as long as they are a quality saw. The one feature I like a lot with the Grizzly is the ball bearing guides. As I said I’m not looking to buy tomorrow but I would like to get a pretty good idea of what few saws to keep my eye on and hopefully find on sale. I have no problems spending $800 on a good saw but I don't really want to spend much more than that. I am also up for buying used but you really don't find too many people selling good quality saws near Pittsburgh too often.
